What is your story of not being able to access your Bitcoin wallet with Bitcoins in them.
What have you tried to retrieve them?
Although I have never had an issue of not being able to access my Bitcoin wallet holding any amount of Bitcoin, but I have had an issue of misplaced keys holding another assets. It wasn't a funny experience as I needed to trade the asset for fiat in order to solve a problem I had offline. I became increasingly devasted at every passing hour as I combed through all nooks and crannies of my house. It was a sorry stated for me that day. Till now I am yet to find the keys to that wallet. This is one very ugly side of cryptocurrencies. That experience taught me better ways to protect and keep my crypto assets safe and secured.

My case is a bit more complex. Normally I take backups of my Bitcoin wallets, so there is no question of losing the access. However, I had accounts in a few cryptocurrency exchanges, which are now defunct. Wex.nz and Cryptopia are some of the exchanges in which I had account. When these exchanges closed down, I lost the access to my coins. And worse still, the amount was quite significant for me, at least in the case of Cryptopia.

When i was new to crypto i didn't know much about wallets and i used to store them in exchanges and it was a low quality exchange and my account was disabled due to which i lost my bitcoin , that is exchange dont even exists now , now i have much experience and wont do any foolish things and trust anyone
more like those new exchanges that turn to be a scam. I had similar experience too but wasn't bothered much because of the coin that I have on the exchange worth less than $10 ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) . I believe wrongly on the exchange thinking it will be a good exchange and possibly one day be like Binance BNB token but it was not. My own experience is losing $50 in my bitpay wallet. My phone memory was full and I was prompt to uninstall some app but I mistakenly marked the bitpay mobile wallet as part of the app to be uninstalled not knowing I did not store the seed phrase. It was painful ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Since I started in crypto a lot of experiences had been experienced along the way.. I had lost some investment probably bitcoin thru the exchanges that were totally shutdown because of being such a scam exchange. Some were thru projects that launched ICO but in the end, all were FAILED. and lastly, thru trading because of bearish market.. All this can make you feel disappointed but in the end, mistakes can teach us a great lesson.

Wouldn't they post a notice ahead of the closure that will happen or did they just seemingly ran away with all your coins and asset or at least contact all their users through email? It seems like finding a lot of exchange isn't really that good, when you're planning to have a strategy of finding better rate for the coins you want to trade. I never knew these exchanges as I was just sticking to Binance.

Maybe I'm just a lucky person that I didn't experienced losing my access to any Bitcoin I have until now. Or because I have done a research first regarding the basics and that includes storing of Bitcoin before I invested on it and decide to hold some. Retrieving them is easy if you remember the keys of your Bitcoin, aside from that it would be hard to retrieve.

This is one of the most painful thing that can happen on the blockchain. I'm saying so because it's very painful to see Your Own funds through blockchain but can't access them. And always most painful when the funds are much. Hence, we all should be very³ careful about our bitcoin wallets. Sometimes it could be your phrase and other times it could be that you sent it to a wrong wallet address. Once you create a wallet, back it up on up to 3 different reachable places. And when sending bitcoins, be very sure that you are sending to the rightful wallet address because 𝗢𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨'𝗩𝗘 𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗕𝗜𝗧𝗖𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗦, 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢 𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗜𝗧 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 (𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗢 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗢𝗦𝗛𝗜 𝗛𝗜𝗠𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙!)

Or because I have done a research first regarding the basics and that includes storing of Bitcoin before I invested on it and decide to hold some. Retrieving them is easy if you remember the keys of your Bitcoin, aside from that it would be hard to retrieve. It depends, even if you take several precautions and have many backups of your wallets there is always the risk something happens that is way beyond your expectations and you still lose your coins, for example even if you have many backups if all of them are in the same place and something like a fire happens you could still lose all your backups on the fire, and if you take the precaution to store them in different places one of those backups could be stolen and you could lose your coins anyway.

I think you should keep calm in this case, keeping bitcoin in reputable wallets is essential and important, I always keep them in blockchain wallet, but sometimes my bitcoins are lost but actually If there is a problem with the display error, they will be fixed soon. ![Kiss](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/kiss.gif) .

to be honest, all people who lose access to the bitcoin they have, basically they will try to re-access the bitcoin they have and try to take it back. however, so far I have never heard that anyone can really get it back. so far, I've only ever lost the assets that I have in my wallet. Well, I tried to get it back, but, it seems like the opportunity has gone. so I decided to replace it with a new wallet.

I have experience when, my laptop has been taken from me, I have a file their that contains all of my private key but, sadly I don't have any online back-up since I don't trust online since it can be hack anytime and this disaster happen to me. Honestly I don't expect that my money can be recover considering that, I only have one copy of it. It's been a lesson learned to me so I don't have any regrets to it. Always do a back-up as much as possible.

Not in my Bitcoin wallet because I'm to cautious about my Wallets with BTC but in my ethereum wallet?yeah once i have missed saving the private key so my coins are gone and cannot find them now. Yes I have, just recently I lost a good amount of BTC because I lost access to my LUKS encrypted drive and never did a backup of my LUKS partition header. I will not make that mistake ever again!!!!
Is that a safer wallet?that LUKS?actually i am looking for another wallet thats why I'm asking. When you lost access to your bitcoin wallet maybe you lost your money, but before it happen to your account better save and hold your assets and keep save data wallet in several place, or you can try by saving your wallet data by manually wrote on paper and then save in your billow, I think is best ideas how to keep safety with your ddoument.
Not just maybe but yes because we cannot retrieve our money if we lose our private keys.

Lost 0.1 Bitcoin on a phone Wallet when the App suddently forced you to create a code/password!! I knew I will forget this code or even forget where and how I wrote it down. So some months later it happened. Thanks for forcing access codes on people that are bad with such. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Wonder how many coins got lost this way already.

Most likely those coins are lost because even if you could recover your laptop it is possible all the data has already been erased out of the hard drive, this is why it is important to have several backups, I have an USB with my private keys and I have a paper backup with my seed words, that way if something happens to my computer I know that I will be able to recover my coins no matter what happens, however I recognize that my current arrangement does not mean that my coins are perfectly secure since many things could happen that could make me lose my coins.

I have lost a little amount of bitcoin before,
It is when I just got started knowing bitcoin, I invested some bitcoin and put it on a wallet which I didn't take care of. That time, the value of bitcoin is below a thousand dollars, I just stored it and even forgot about it. When bitcoin started to increase its price, I tried to look for it but unfortunately, I cannot find or retrieve it ever since.

My first phrase wallet in the blockchain was lost because my computer was infected with a virus so I had to reinstall my windows, and I only realized after I searched for the file containing the phrase that it didn't exist on the computer. I've tried to remember it but still can't log in, even though it's not much that's still my first wallet.

That was very common years ago when the price of bitcoin was low, people bought bitcoin and they did not thought much about it and they forgot about their coins but some time later they realized the price of bitcoin had gone up dramatically and they wanted to get those coins back but since they did not took enough precautions to recover those coins they lost access to them, however I believe such scenario is going to become less common as the value and the potential of bitcoin as a currency becomes more widespread to the general public.
